Rocker arms

[robftw]

Well, i was going to get these resurfaced for my new camshaft, ISKY has already ground it and after speaking with ron he instructed me that 175 lash pads will fit

However i just grabbed my old rockers about to take them to the machine shop for resurfacing and saw this... were they touch the lash pads they are all different heights.

oddly, all of my lash pads are within 1-3 thousandths of each other, yet the rocker arms are 20+ ?!

so what are my choices now?

1) Buy new rocker arms

2) Get each lash pad machined separately to fit

I'd go with option 2, and adjust the rockers after replacing them in the order removed. You did mark their positions when they were removed, correct?

I didn't bother because the camshaft and rockers were to be reground, and put on a P90 head instead of the N47 they originally came from

Whats the cost savings of putting reworked rockers in apposed to new?

[robftw]

3$ per grind so ($36) + tax for all 12

or.. 15$ per rocker arm via rock auto ($180) + $15 shipping

$160, I would go new, and sell the used to offset the cost.
